The present paper aims at describing the methodology and presents some final results of a
work developed in the field of building energy benchmarking applied to the buildings of the
Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, based on a thorough energy performance characterization of
each of its buildings, looking specifically at the typology of canteen. Developing building
energy performance benchmarking systems enables the comparison of actual consumption of
individual buildings against others of the same typology and against targets previously
defined. The energy performance indicator was computed based on two different relevant
elements, the net floor area and number of served meals. Then, the results were ranked
according to the percentile rules previously established, and compared. An environmental
analysis based on equivalent CO2 emissions was also performed for each building.
